Franklin Templeton Academy

“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” - Benjamin Franklin

Franklin Templeton Academy (FTA) is a global education programme that seeks to contribute to your knowledge and skills so that you, in turn, can provide superior service to your clients.

Franklin Templeton has played a significant role in financial education and training for decades. As early as 1958, the Franklin Almanac, a mimeographed newsletter, provided tips on a range of investment topics.

Franklin Templeton Academy was launched in Asia in 2005 and quickly expanded to Europe and the Americas. Today Academy comprises nearly 30 professionals globally, dedicated to a variety of roles such as training (often in local language), instructional design and content development.

Benjamin Franklin once said: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I learn. Involve me I and remember”. Throughout the years, this particular quote has inspired the Academy to provide informative, pragmatic and engaging training programs that result in effective learning experiences.
